SUMMARY:Stop Motion Club
DESCRIPTION:Learn the process of stop motion filmmaking in this program. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nStop motion is a filmmaking technique where inanimate objects are moved a little bit at a time\, then photographed in a way that gives the appearance of movement when the film is played back. \nLearn storyboarding\, editing\, lighting and filming. Show your work in a Film Fest finale in the last class. \nThe program uses a free app available on Android and iOS devices. \nAfter you register\, parents/guardians must sign and send us an Online Permission Form authorizing their child(ren) to participate in the program.

SUMMARY:Labyrinth at the Westdale
DESCRIPTION:Special March Break screenings! All tickets just $9.25 \n40th Anniversary! \nSarah\, a petulant adolescent living in an alluring dream world of fantasy and enchantment\, finds it difficult to accept that she must babysit her baby stepbrother\, Toby. So\, without a second thought\, she wishes goblins would take the boy away in a fit of pique. But as all-hearing ears grant her horrible wish\, Sarah has a change of heart. As a result\, she embarks on a dangerous rescue mission to confront the fearful Goblin King Jareth in his impenetrable maze. However\, sneaky creatures and an eerie mystique rule the ethereal realm. Can Sarah right a wrong and save Toby before she loses him forever in the tangled labyrinth?

While we love our pets\, the cows sometimes get nervous around them – so unfortunately dogs are not allowed.

SUMMARY:March Break Farm Tours
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a tour of the farm! One of our farmers will walk you through the barns to see the cows and explain how we care for our herd. You’ll have a chance to get up close and personal with our baby calves\, and we’ll bring you into the parlour to see the milking in action. Throughout the tour try and spot our mascot\, the real-life ‘Valentina the Heart Cow’! \nThis is a walking tour lasting about 75 minutes. \nPlease dress for the weather (cold\, wet\, etc.) as most of the tour is outside. You will be provided boot/shoe covers that must be worn throughout the tour. \nThe tour is suitable for strollers\, walkers and wheelchairs\, but please be aware there are uneven surfaces. While we love our pets\, the cows sometimes get nervous around them – so unfortunately dogs are not allowed.
